that the participant can use to join

You can customize your meeting options to fit your requirements, meeting type,
and the participants. For example, customize access, presenters, video sharing

Join a Lync Meeting
1. In the meeting request, click Join Lync Meeting or click Join Online in the
meeting reminder.
2. On the Join Meeting Audio window, select one of the options:
Do I need a PIN, work number or extension?
Not always. Most of the time when you call in to the meeting, you get connected
right away. You only need a PIN and extension if:
• You’re the leader (Organizer) of the meeting, and calling from a phone that
isn’t connected to your account; such as a cell phone.
• You’re an attendee, but the meeting is secured and you need to be
identified before joining, (referred to as Authenticated caller).
When prompted, use your phone dial pad to enter your number and PIN.
If you don’t remember your PIN, click Forgot your Dial-in PIN in the meeting
request and follow the instructions on the page to reset.
